Seattle Home Remodeling - Walls and Ceilings part 2

Continuing on with last week’s wall and ceiling discussion.  Even when drywall isn’t the finished surface of the wall or ceiling it’s typically installed as a backer in most home remodeling projects.  The drywall can be both the finish material and the underlayment for other finishes.  The best Seattle home remodeling contractors and custom home builders know better than to use drywall under tile in wet areas like a shower but it can be used for tile backing in dry areas like around a fireplace.

Seattle Home Remodeling – Walls and Ceilings – sky’s the limit.

Some common wall finishes applied over drywall in Seattle home remodeling projects are:  Wall paper, wood or tile wainscoting, wood paneling, sheet metal paneling, plaster coatings…  Same is true for ceilings.  In home remodeling there isn’t really a limit to what can be used for a wall or ceiling finish material.  We used Moroccan doors as the ceiling finish for a Bellevue home remodeling project that included a meditation room.  Other common ceiling treatments used in home remodeling include:  Plaster finishes, box beams, crown moldings, wood paneling, sheet metal…   The most common finish over drywall is paint.  Suffice to say there is an endless array of paint colors and methods of application.  I’ll dig a little deeper into paint in another post.  Really, just about anything can be used as the finish for a wall or ceiling in a home remodeling or custom home building project.  It comes down to how will it look and how much will it cost.
